“I can’t go to school. My stomach hurts. Please don’t make me go!” 😰

When your child is struggling, keeping them home feels like the compassionate choice, which is understandable. But here’s what the science shows:

Avoidance doesn’t make anxiety shrink. It makes it grow.

So what should you do?

Dr. King knew that courage isn’t the absence of fear—it’s showing up anyway.

That’s what we see every day in our clinics: kids who walk through our doors despite their anxiety, parents who ask for help when it’s hard, families who choose courage over avoidance.

This MLK Day, we honor his legacy by creating brighter futures for every child. 🧡

There’s no denying that the reason why we work so hard is a tough one. Simply put, it’s because the need for pediatric and family mental health support continues to rise.

And every day — in ways both big and small — we’re reminded why this work matters, and why we love it so much.

Yes, the community impact and results are incredible. The chance to follow a passion and see the difference it makes is undeniable.

But the real magic is in the people we’re surrounded by, even though it’s usually from a distance. So, being able to take a break and come together outside of work to share perspectives, stories, and time is cherished.

Each of us is proud of ourselves, of each other, and of every family we serve. We are filled with gratitude for this work, for the progress we see in kids and teens every day, and for a chance to do it all over again next year.

🙈 Big parties. Unfamiliar people. Peer pressure.

The events, gatherings, and pressure that can come along with the holidays are tough for kids with social anxiety. All you want is for your child to relax and enjoy themselves, but it feels like they just don’t know how.

Here are a few small ways you can help:

1️⃣ Practice: Give your child some go-to small talk (including what to say when they want to end the chat) and role-play beforehand so conversations feel natural.

2️⃣ Make a plan: Agree on 3-4 things to accomplish (e.g., say hi to 4 people, tell someone your name, say one thing you enjoy at school) and how you’ll celebrate after.

3️⃣ Balance: Think about what your child can realistically handle before saying yes to every invitation — a packed calendar can lead to overtired and overwhelmed kids.

Help is here when you need it.

☹️ Okay, so maybe a different schedule isn’t actually easier.

😉 Before you lock yourself in the bathroom (again), remember that these are your people. Having extra time together is tricky and amazing and hard and the best.

🎉 You’re not sure who was looking forward to the holiday break more, you or the kids.

😀 For two weeks solid, there’s no dragging anyone out of bed in the morning, no checking homework, no rushing through dinner/bath/bed, and no more evenings spent washing uniforms and packing lunches.

😮‍💨 So why do you find yourself a couple of days into it bristling at the 4,826th time your child said “MOM WATCH ME”, deep breathing until the littles go to bed, and fighting to keep your eyes open until your teenager’s curfew?

😑 THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE RELAXING.

😒 If you’re frustrated because you’re frustrated, you get it. And tomorrow’s post is for you.

In the meantime, let perfection go.

Right now, good enough is good enough.

🤞 Adults-only parties. New babysitters. Different schedules.

When your child deals with separation anxiety, the holidays can be extra stressful. Leaving a clinging, crying child at home every day breaks your heart, but you’ve got so much to do (and so little time).

These simple tips can help with difficult transitions:

1️⃣ Explain: If it's hard at first, talk about where you’re going and when you’ll be back. Help your child come up with coping thoughts to self-soothe while you’re gone.

2️⃣ Come and go with confidence: Leave the house as you normally would and remind them of their coping thoughts in case you’re late (traffic happens!).

3️⃣ Be real: Be honest about when you’re leaving and why to maintain your child’s trust. You can’t reduce their uncertainty, but they can learn to live with it safely.

😬 When you’re not on the same parenting page with your partner, it can make conflict seem inevitable.

💬 Usually, you find time to discuss (yell at) each other while the kids are at school, but now that school is out, privacy is hard to come by and stress makes the tension run high.

☹️ The side eye glances, frustrated sighs, slammed doors, and raised voices start to become more noticeable. Your kids see it and hear it. Your oldest even asked if you were getting a divorce.

😤 If you’re seething, out of patience, and riddled with guilt, you get it.

For now, let perfection go.

Good enough is good enough.

🥺 High expectations. Low energy levels. BoredomFor a child or teenager dealing with depression, the bright, festive holidays might actually hold little interest. And for parents hyping up every fun situation and being met with a shrug and a closed bedroom door, it can be hard to understand.

Here are a few angles to take that may help everyone involved:

1️⃣ Manage expectations: If the success of the holiday break hinges on your child having fun, you’re setting yourself up to fail. Release that pressure.

2️⃣ Build in downtime: Everyone benefits from time to quietly recharge, especially when energy is running low.

3️⃣ Take baby steps: Do small things together even if your child doesn’t feel like it. Go for a morning walk, have dinner together, and model sharing feelings.
